Hi all,

Could anyone recommend a reliable garage in or near Bristol for a standard service on a 2006 Z4 2.5i?

Any clues much appreciated.

Cheers!

Welcome to the Forum.

Feel free to introduce yourself and post up a photo of your car

You've got the option of a few Indies :-
1) Forza GB in Caldicot (Just over the Severn bridge)
2) Autobase in Chipping Sodbury
3) Reddish in Bishopsworth.

They all know their BMW's.

Just been doing a search, Redish motors Bristol come highly recommended over at Pistonheads, anyone tried them?

Used them a couple of times. James really knows his stuff and is a really nice guy.
You'll need to book early as he is always very busy.

redish are ripoff merchants charging you for absolutely everything - would never go back there.

Pro garage in warmley is good - a guy called leighton is a top bloke and knows these motors.
Also autobase in chipping sodbury.
Clayton cars in ashton i've heard good things too

I can recommend Dan at White Cube Automotive in Fishponds. No nonsense, know what they're doing and, unlike Redish, will actually have some availability.

Standard service is childs play on the Zed. Do it yourself and save yourself a fortune plus have the satisfaction that filters etc were actually replaced.

I use Forza GB in Caldicot (Just over the Severn bridge) never had any issues, not the cheapest but you get a 15% zed discount on labour.

I always used to use these guys when I lived just outside Bristol - https://www.paulgunstone.com/

Admittedly not a BMW specialist but they were good!
